“For the past decade, I have been a photographer with a diverse client base in the US, Singapore, and Australia. I have established my own business in each location, specializing in family photography that showcases beautiful landscapes and historical architecture, in addition to events, weddings, wildlife, and commercial photography. I am a self-starter, enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds, and take pride in the success of my small business. My creativity, independence, and perfectionism allow me to easily adapt to a variety of objectives and styles. I have a passion for the outdoors, mastering new techniques, and exploring how light impacts different environments.”

“I began Amy Woodward Photography in the USA working in both in San Francisco and New York, before moving to Singapore in 2019 and now back to Australia. Across these locations I have specialized in family & child, corporate, wildlife and event photography including weddings. My photography style is adaptable depending on client needs and design brief, but my artistic style is a little wild and rustic with whimsical natural lighting and featuring the beautiful rugged surroundings in which my sessions take place.”
